2007 Toronto Autoshow

So I rented a 17-55 2.8 IS for this event, and due to shipping complications it NEVER showed up... So I was pissed off, but still did my best with mostly my 50 1.8, and some 18-55 in there. So here we are:

Super chief is so big, this is all I could fit in the frame. Serious... I'm 6'6" and I took that standing straight up, and the truck wasn't on a platform.

Oh, and check out my Lamborghini shots from the show here: http://www.photography​-on-the.net …hp?p=2809609&po​stcount=98

I really like these. I ordered the 50 f/1.8 from B&H a week ago. Can't wait for it to arrive. I'm really impressed with the pictures it takes.

why not just use flash? i used inbuilt flash last year at the london motorshow and it did the job. then you could have had the best of both worlds, your 50 for details, your 18-55 for whole car shots.

I had an external flash and diffuser I also used for many shots with the 18-55, the results just aren't the same as the pre-existing ambient light.

Like, for the Maybach, I took some with the flash, but it destroys that beautiful colouration which was captured in the picture with the 50 1.8.

yea dude i like your crops. i dont like all the unnecessary clutter found at car shows. these are nice!

Excellent work. The crops are good and show that people who care look at the details, not the bikinis.

Thanks gentlemen, I appreciate both the comments.

After going through all my images from this year, compared to last year, although I have a lot more tight pictures, I think they're a more enjoyable part of my collection.

Great shots. Once you get used to it, 50mm is a very capable focal length in this situation. Nicely done.

I love all these pics but the BMW Alpina is my fav as a BMW lover, i just got my 50mm today and after seeing your results cant wait to try it out tomo. Well done

That Super Chief *IS* a beast isn't it!!! Saw it at a car show here in Jan.

Sorry, the Maybach is too big & beyond the guidelines, so I've reduced it to a link. You can re-post it when you've made it smaller.
